Matt's Story
[Matt] Chris did a good job of summarizing the trip so I am just going to throw in some comments and a few thoughts. The trip started out great with nice weather and everyone ready to go. I then quick realized that I was in for a lot more than what I had bargained for. It was about this point that I realized all the up and down we were going to be doing on the trip were going up the side of a mountain and then down the other side then find another mountain in our path to go over again. The first two days were filled with wonderful views that made the hiking all worth it.
Then things took a turn for the worse. Jack found out that with my Sprint cell phone I got coverage way out in the middle of no where so I had to keep fighting to get him off the phone. Then to top that off all he wanted to do was lay down and take a nap it seemed like. He had brought a crossword along for the trip and I don't know how many times I heard him say he was going to go crawl in his sleeping bag and do the crossword.
Then to top things off the weather took a turn for the worse. We lost all the good views and instead got wet, wet, wet clothes. Then we had a really long day and my pack weighed about 10 pounds more from all the water. This was the day that at one point I let out I was about borderline having fun and Chris and Jack seemed to think that was funny. I made it through the day and at the end got some of my clothes dried off so ended up having a great trip.
